STAMPED:....Sd. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM SPRING MEETING. The gathering, the adjunct of the fine weather taken into account, bids fair to tread closely on the heels of the great May Carnival. There is the same crowding of trains at London, Victoria, and Waterloo—the same holiday look pertaining to the people on the hill, to the great majority of whom the City and Suburban and the Great Metropolitan are things of nought. Many of the especial characteristics, indeed, of the Derby Day are tending to rob the Epsom Spring of its most business-like features. The weather, though cold, was not unseasonable. The Trial Stakes, for which the Irish mare Caroline was made a very warm favourite, proved a surprise to her backers, as she never showed prominently in the race, which was vei y cleverly snatched from Vivid by Lord Stamford's Gemma, the latter's jrAkey landing her a winner in. the last few strides by a head. Trumps carried off the Heathcote Plato easily, and Jessie did ditto in the London•bridge Stakes. Speculation on the City and Suburban has shown no ex ception to the rule which has applied to the other spring handicaps. It has been, until within the last week or so, languid in the extreme. Liston held a solitary position in the quotations from " the Corner" for some time, and when others came into the betting still kept the lead, until his performance at Croxton• park last week sent him out of the market. Gordian Knot was immediately elevated to the premiership, and with Veterinarian as second favourite maintained that position until Jarnicoton, coming with a rush prior to the race, left off on equal terms with him. There was a tedious delay at the post, but at length they got away to a fair start, Moulsey making the running and keeping the lead until the distance, where Merry Hart and Lord Burleigh joined him, Lord Westmoreland's horse winning cleverly by a length, amid loud cheering. The Two-yr-old Stakes saw another scattering of the favourites in the hollow victory of Garderieure, who de feated Lord Coventry's crack in an easy canter. The Inkerman Plate wound up the day's sport with another victory for the fielders in Prescription. During the afternoon the stewards of the Melton meeting investigated the objection brought by the owner of the second horse in the National Hunt Steeplechase against the rider of the winner, and the following notice was posted on the board : The Stewards of the National Hunt Meeting having heard the evidence brought by Mr Behrens against Mr F. Loton's qualifications as a gentleman rider have decided that Cooksborough is disqualified. COVENTRY. G. W. FITZWILLIAX. BEAUFORT. W. G. CRAVEN. HASTINGS. B. T. ANGELL. April 7.

Vivid, with Golden Dust and Gemma on her right, jumped away with the running, closely attended by Tippler, Reserve, and Caroline into the straight, when the two leaders drew in advance and came on in company to the stand, where Gemma headed Golden Dust, and in the next few strides obtained a slight advantage and won a fine race by a head, three lengths dividing the second and third ; Glenorchy was fourth, Caroline fifth, Little Go sixth, Vingt sept and Land of the West next.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Trumps, sto 2 agat Dilston, and G to 1 agst Knight Templar. After a short delay at the post, they were despatched in close company, but after running a few strides Dilston on the far side came on with a decided lead of the favourite, who was closely attended by Virginia and Tailor to the bend, rounding which the former was joined by Trumps, the pair running together to the road, when Dilston was beaten, and 'Virginia came on in attendance on the favou rite, but failed to quite get up, and was beaten after a good race by three-quarters of a length : a bad third ; Dilston was fourth, and Knight Templar sixth, the last three being Balderdash, !Etna, and Lady Derby.

The favourite, on the outside, jumped away with a slight lead, having Mountain Maid, Village Belle, and St. Thomas as his immediate followers, but as they rounded the bend the Spasms colt dropped away beaten, leaving St. Thomas with a alight lead, which he held to half-way in the distance, where he was headed by Verdiere, who re tained a clear lead to the enclosure, when Jessie came with a rush and won a close race home by half a length ; three parts of a length between the second and third ; Ida was fourth, and Mountain Maid fifth; St. Thomas last.

Betting,-3 to 1 agst Veterinarian, 100 to 30 agst Jarni coton, 100 to 15 agst Gordian Knot, 12 to 1 agst Lord Zet land, 100 to 8 agst Flying Fish, 20 to 1 each agat Count Cavour, Merry Hart, Juliet, and Voluptas, 25 to 1 each agst Brindisi and Exchequer, 40 to 1 each agst Lord Burleigh, King of Utopia, and Bradamante. The difficulty of getting the horses to the post was con siderably increased by the repeated breaking away of Cadiz, Merry Hart, Flying Fish, Bradamante, and Gordian Knot, who upon each attempt of Mr. M'George, to get them to him jumped round and ran to the brow of the hill. At last, seeing an opportunity, he lowered his flag Some 30 minutes after the appointed Um° to an equitable start. Summerside, on the upper ground, was the first away, but after running a few strides she was headed by Moulsey, who came on with a clear lead, followed in a body by Brindisi, Summerside, Aunt Judy, Exchequer, Bradamante, and Merry Hart, and wide on the lower ground succeeded Lord Burleigh, close up with whom were Veterinarian, Cadiz, Flying Fish, and Lord Zetland, the others following closely in their wake. Coming through " the furies" Moulsey considerably increased his lead, and as he entered the old course he appeared to be clear of his horses, some three or four lengths in advance of the favourite, who, having threaded through his horses -as they rounded the turn, came on second, close up with whom were Brindisi, Bradamante, Exchequer, Summerside, Flying Fish, Merry Hart, Gordian Knot, and Cadit—then came Lord Burleigh on the lower ground, who was also attended by Count Cavour, King of Utopia, Fiancée, Jarnicoton, and Countersign, the rearmost horses being brought up by Trumps and Voluptas. These positions were retained as they descended the hill, and on fairly reaching the dip the colours of the favourite speedily disappeared from the front, and his place was immediately after occupied by Bradamante, on whose right came Brindisi, Lord Burleigh, and Merry Hart, Summerside, with Gordian Knot, having been disposed of as they crossed the road, which left Flying Fish, with Lord Zetland, Cadiz, and Count Cavear as their immediate fol lowers. Moulsey (taken for Tom Fool) retained his promi nent position to the half distance, where Mercian eased him, which let up those who were closely in his wake, but dying away shortly after he was headed by Bradamante, who came on with a slight advantage to the enclosure, where he was joined by Lord Burleigh on the lower ground, and Lord Westmoreland's colt on the upper ground, the former for a brief period holding out hopes of the success of the cherry and spots, but on reaching the centre of the stand he ap peared to succumb to the weight, and again left Mr. Gre ville's nomination in the van, but who within half a dozen strides of the chair was challenged by Merry Hart, who won very cleverly at hot by a length, half a length separat ing second and third ; Moulsey wasfourth, close up ; Ex chequer fifth, Brindisi sixth, and Flying Fish next. Then came at wide intervals, all pulling up, Lord Zetland, Weatherspy, Jarnicoton, Fiancee, Effie, King of Utopia, and Tom Fool, behind whom were Juliet, Count Cavour, Veterinarian —Trumps being the last of all.

Wharf-road, City-road, N., and East Greenwich, S.E. This Company has been formed for the purpose of making and maintaining telegraphic lines of communication, both submarine and on land, in every part of the world. The facility of intercourse which telegraphic communi cation now, in such extensive operation, has afforded to the public in its varied communities—Political, Commercial, and Social—has rendered that which was, but a few years ago, regarded merely as a scientific experiment, absolutely necessary for the purposes of our social system, and a highly remunerative investment. It has been found that, as in the case of railways (although to a much greater ex tent), telegraphic cables have uniformly developed a con stantly increasing traffic, with this remarkable and special feature, that the more distant the points brought into con nexion, the greater the proportion of business done. Experience has proved that increasing receipts from the working of submarine cables bring with them only a trifling proportionate increase in the amount of working expenses. Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company and the GuttaPercha Company have hitherto together had the principal share in the manufacture of submarine telegraphic cables. The former firm, who have undertaken the manufacture, laying down, and maintenance of the cables, have hitherto obtained the inner cores of the cables from the Gutta Percha Coin any, which has, in this branch of its trade, confined itself entirely to the production of that part of the cable. Messrs Glass, Elliot, and Company have, during the last ten years, manufactured and laid down in diff,rent parts of the world no less than 6,500 miles of Submarine Tele graph Cable, whilst the Gutta Percha Company have, dur ing a like period. manufactured upwards of 9,000 miles ot insulated wires for Submarine Telegraph Cables now iu work. It has been ascertained that the manufacture of entire cables could be more securely and beneficially carried on by uniting in one establishment the manufacture of the outer cable and wires, and the execution of the portion of the work heretofore separately executed by the Gat ta Percha Company,and with this view contracts have been entered into for the purchase of the entire machinery, premises, plant, patent, stock, goodwill, &c., of the GuttaPercha Company, by Messrs. Glass, Elliot, ad Company ; and that firm have agreed to transfer to this Company, at the cost price to them, the work so acquired. A contract has also been con cluded with Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company, for the acquisition, by this Company, of their manufactory, premises, patents, stock, and business, the consideration being paid, to the extent of £lOO,OOO, in fully paid up Shares of the Company. Under these combined arrange ments the Company will enter into possession of the anal" gamated business and be entitled to tbeir profits as from the Ist of January last. The Company's business will be conducted under the personal superintendence of Mr. Barclay and Mr. Glass, as managing directors, assisted by the efficient staff of the united Compenies. The agreement with Messrs. Glass, Elliet, and Company provides for the assignment, with the consent of the Trea sury, to the Company of the lease held by that firm of the Submarine Telegraph between Malta and: Alexandria. The Alexandria, Cairo, and Suez Telegraph, held by Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company under agreement with the Telegraph to India Company is also comprised in the arrangement. The large profits which have hitherto been realised by both of the above firms, and the prospect which exists ot considerable extension of the business justify the expects , tion of a large return to the Shareholders, independently of the profits arising from the working of the telegraph lines above referred to. Copies of the above contracts, together with the Articles o f Association of the Comp an y , may be inspected t Solicitors' Offices. Applications for Shares must be made in the annexed form ; but no application will be considered unless the de posit of £1 per share has been previously paid to the Bankers of the Company. This deposit will be returned if no allot ment is made to the applicant, and if an allotment is made, it will be applied towards the payment then due. An option will be given to the Subscribers of taking one fourth of the Shares allotted as fully paid up Shares. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained at the Offices of the Company, and of the Brokers. London, April 7, 1864. FORA OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

M, Old Broad-street. The gr , at Trunk Railway from Vienna, in the direction of the frontier of Moldavia, is at present complete as far as Lemberg. Tie communication is effected by means of two lines. The first being the Northern Railway, from Vienna to Cracow; the second, the Carl -Ludwig itai way, from Cracow to Lemberg. The first of these lines pays ~bout 14 per ca , nt. upon its capital. The second was completed only at the end . of 1861. but since its opening has paid 8 per cent. upon its capital, and consequently has never required to claim the guarantee of 5 per cent. accorded to it by the Austrian GOVernlnk The present line is the continuation from Lemberg to Czernowit z, near the Moldavian frontier. The c oncession has been granted by the Austrian Government on terms un usually favourable to the company undertaking . it. The proposed railway, enter ng into the heart of the grain and cattle-producing district whence the Carl -Ludwig line obtains its most important traffic, and being constructed at a very considerably less cost, promises to be more profitable than its neighbour. The continuance of the line through Mo'davia to Galati, on the Danube 'for which a concession has recently been granted by the Chambers of the Principalities), must neces sarily add largely to the profits of the Lemberg-Czernowitz Railway, which will thus form an integral tart in an un broken and direct railway communication between the Baltic, the German Ocean, and the Black Sea. The concession, the duration of which is ninety years, sti pulates for the commenc: ment of the works previous to the I ith January, 1565, and for their completion within three years ; but provision is made for extension a these periods in ca-e of political or financial crisis. The Government guarantee a fixed sum of £150,000 in silver money as a net annual revenue of the line. The sum thus guaranteed by the Government, after pro vidint for the payment of interest at 5 per cent. on the Bonds, and for an annual sinking fund, will leave a clear 7 per cent. applicable to the share capital. The sinking fund will be annually applied by lot to the redemption of the Bonds and Shares at par. The proprietors of the Shares thus, from time to time, redeemed will, for each share, receive a certifi cate entitling the bearer to a participation, during the re maining term of the concession, in all the profits of the Com pany exceeding 5 per cent. on the original capital. A contract, which will be adopted by the Company, has been entered into by the concessionaires with Mr. Brassey for a sum of £2,450,000. This contract provides for the construction of the railway in accordance with the terms of the concession, and for stock ing the same with r Bing stock. It includes all the preli an nary expenses of acquiring the concession and forming ttie Company ; it makes provision for interest during con struction on paid-up capital at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum ; and it covers an ample reserve for the expenses of management until the railway shall be opened for public traffic.

I had set out for a pleasure ride on horseback with a friend a few minutes after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The morning had been rainy; but a strong north-westerly wind had driven the clouds from the heavens, and the weather was sharply cold though bright. The usual slack and unmeaning cannonade had gone on the whole morning; but we had learnt to 'despise it, and had not even turned out to inquire what its purpose or its results might be. The artillery, however, on Dybbol-hill soon quickened its fire to a pitch not only unprecedented during the previous phases of this war, but hardly to be matched by anything we had read or heard of in any war. The cannonade was appalling. It was the battle of the angels and demons, as imagined by Milton. We flattered ourselves for a moment that all this brisk discharge proceeded from the Danish bastions. We knew that Prussian batteries had lately been descried on the summit of the Avnbierg, on sea oral points about Dybbol village, and on other positions along the line, and fancied that the Danes, bent on the destruction of the enemy's works, wished to show the sluggish Germans with what activity and to what purpose cannon should be handled. We made our way on foot to the Windmill battery by the south-eastern shore; then again shifted our place of observation, and went to the top of a hill, in the centre of a windmill which crowns Sonderborg on the north, where an arbour in the corner of the garden commands the most exten sive view of the Dybbol heights across the Sound. From the vantage ground we thus successively occupied we had it in our power to see the flash of every gun, and to follow the path of every shell. The Danes, it soon became apparent, had not taken the initiative in the Action ; it was the Prussians who, after all that mere farce of a three weeks' cannonade, opened their fire with a will, and went to work es if they really meant mischief. Possibly, they had hitherto merely kept up their play at cannon balls to give themselves time to complete their works in front of the Danish lines ; possibly, also, their Government had, at last, given up all hopes or fears of a Conference, and had telegraphed to their commanders that the time for shilly-shally ing was past, ant that it behoved them to show that forbearance did not on their part arise from weakness. They had hitherto limited their activity to the throwing a few hundred shells daily from their batteries at Broagerland. Once only they had tried the range of a few field pieces from the top of Avnbjerg; but to-day they unmasked their batteries both from that summit and from Dybbol village, and their 24 pounders thundered all along the lino from extreme left to extreme right. The fire was so well maintained that it was difficult for a spec tator to follow the reports as they crowded upon one another, and often two and more at one time. Some of us counted as many as 25 shots in tho minute, and an Englishman assured us that 2,500 shell- had flown through the air in the lapse of an hour. All this furious attack was mainly directed against the Dybbol bastions, where the Danes showed the best countenance, and for a long time gave the enemy as good as he sent. The batteries from Broagerland, besides aiding in the work im mediately before them, found leisure to bestow some of their attention upon Sonderborg, and about 100 of their shells were aimed at the castle, at the tete de pont, and at as many of the lower buildings of the town as were more immediately within their reach. I have not as yet been able to ascertain what amount of damage all this shower of projectiles may have done to the Danish line. Some of the officers who have just returned from outposts assure these 'who are willing to believe them that the mischief is but trifling, and that the bastions are none the worse for the tremendous noise which has been for more than six hours incessantly kept up against them. The evidence of our own eyes, however, would rather induce us to make some abatement in these flattering assertions: The fire of the Prussians was returned by the Danes with less spirit as the day declined, and it is difficult to share the assurance entertained at head-quarters here, that the Prus sians, after all the havoc of the day, will be as far from having it in their power to venture on en assault to-morrow as they were in their previous attempts of the 17th and 28th of last month. That none of the batteries on this side have been silenced, we have been able to ascertain. The drawbridge at No. 6 has been burnt, however, and at No. 10 a musketry fire has been heard, a circumstance which might induce a belief that the Prussians have shown themselves at an inconvenient proximity. Whatever the material consequences of to-day's action may be to either of the belligerents, the mere distant sight of it was appalling to us neutrals. The very farm houses that were burning to the ground on many quarters of the landscape--a 1 never-failing accessory to these scenes of destruc- tion—glowed in the dietance with hardly any per• ceptible flame or smoke, so utterly was every vapour swept from the ground by the too violent blast. As the sun set and darkness settled on the face of the earth the wooden barracks in the vicinity of the bastions also caught fire in four or five distinct places, and their glare gleamed dingy red, like the lava of a volcano, as if the embers smoulde re d an d crackled smothered by the overpowering force of the very element that generally feeds fire. A crowd of soldiers, mixed with a few of the townspeople, had thronged around us as we stood on our hill top, and dumb amazement, vague terror, and a sort of wild joy were depicted on every counte nance. There was sublimity enough in the scene before us to strike a deep sensation into the com monest nature. - Persons who have been in the habit of paying weekly i% borrowers of Sewing Machines will do well to applY! e t ,v ° l B , c and become members of Messrs.
